Last night I successfully installed Borderlands and had a happy little reunion with 1P games. I probably wouldn't have bothered had a close friend of mine not harped about it every time I spoke to him. At first I mocked him for getting enthralled in an FPS, until I played it at his house and realised... WAIT! The RPG elements in this are actually quite attractive.

My first impression was; OH MY GOD THIS IS FALLOUT, CELL-SHADED VERSION. It even went so far to the bobble-head in the introductory cinematic sequence. I also noticed the generic chick-character with the seductive eyes and impressive mammary glands. Was I going to hate this game?

No, I wasn't. I got used to the cell-shaded graphics pretty quickly and for an FPS I didn't spas out on the controls quite as much as I did on Halo. I chose to be a hunter, because, let's face it I need a change. He was almost the most aesthetically pleasing without being a lesbian.

However, so far being a sniper is fun. I don't normally approve of sniper rifles - something too fanboyish about them. But goddamn this is FUN. I get to critical-hit skags in the mouth and blow bandits' brains to bits. I am also approving on the soundtrack so far, and the relative simplicity of the game. The skill trees are pretty interesting too. My hawk's talons are hotter than the siren, for sure.

Okay, so, now I have finished raving and ranting about a game everyone on GS probably finished 10 weeks ago, I'm going to carry on playing on my PS1.

Good day to you all.

Long time no see, GS.

It has been a while since I actually bothered to log in again. I kinda forgot about my account. Not that my return has much to say for itself. I gave up Guild Wars (OHMYGODWHAT) and took up several underground F2Ps with a player base of around 3000 each.

Just last night I pre-ordred Dragon Age: Origins for a hefty forty squids. God knows why I did it, but I did. I think I just want the novelty of having a brand spanking new game the day it comes out. The only disadvantage being that it feels like the time between now and then seems like some sort of Limbo. At least I have my F2Ps.

I also picked up Two Worlds (EPIC edition) for a tenner in the summer hols, and ground my way through that. But, what does anyone expect? It's a RPG which lies firmly in my comfort zone. Stat points and skill trees, I do love the basic mechanics.

I've read my way through Robin Hobb's trilogies in between 6th form, building my portfolio and MMORPGs. It's a shame her books are so chunky, because I have ran out of room in my towering bookcase.

I'm so very sunburnt. Very sunburnt. I stupidly went out in a strappy top on thursday with no suncream, when the sun was probably the strongest it has been this year.

Needless to say, my shoulders are many colours. Bright red, mottled purple with yellow blisters. Very attractive, seriously. I'm off school due to clothes being painful and have to rub in aloe vera lotion every hour to stop it cracking. My mum is taking me to the GP's later to see if any prescribed moisturiser can be offered. It's a deep burn and so is slow to heal. I'm never going out in the sun without my factor 30 malibu babes lotion again.

In other news, I decided to give in to the fashion trend of sandals this year. I bought a silver pair from primark. The only disadvantage is; I have to repaint my toenails every day.

That is all.
